A-Yes. sir-. thiey have served two sessions I think. A-Thle present delegation, mnem hers ot' tlie legislature from New berry county now? "I intended to make a statement. I intended to carry this matter to the supreme court rather than come here and make this statement. But inasmuch as it has gone before them yesterday and was decided there was no use to make any protest. Dr. James McIntosh. Dr. James McIntosh, president of I the Newberry Savings bank,was next sworn. Said Mr Evans had no busi ness in the bank in his own name. Mr. Evans had come to his bank on r business. Mr. Lyon asked if Dr. Me fntosh siated to the sub-coinnttee . that Mr. Evans had not received " presents from liquor houses. This was not answered in the affirmative by Dr. Mcintosh. The witness ad mitted after a great deal of question ing that he had hold the truth if he had said that Mr. Evans had acknow ledged receiving a diamond pin from a whiskey house. Witness could re collect no other present. Dr. McIn tosh was a very unwilling witness. le could not recollect hiaviiig told the committee anything but Mr. Ly on s recollection of former conversa e tions with Dr. McIntosh appeared to 9 1 he very vivid. Hon. Arthur Kibler. e Arthur Kiler, a merchant e from Newberry, was next put on the r stand. le sells grocery and furni ture, le had been called out to a look at a table. Mr. Evans said he lhad bouight the table at a bankrupt sale and that it cost $400. Mr. Kib *'er was not impressed with the value f tie table as represented by Mr. I-ivans. It is a nice table btut not 1 worth more than $50 or $75. It was I the finest table he had ever seen. - Mr. Evans had beat Mr. Kibler for the legislature and was later elected a member of the State board. At the next election Mr. Kibler was elee ted to the legislature, and Mr. Evans as a candidate for reelection to the board had called him aside in the Newberry hotel and had told him that, ''All T have ever gotten has beeni my salary $400.'' Mr. Evans told0 him lhe niever. ot any rebaite at all. Tracing the Furniture. - Mr. Lyon put in evidence the fol lowing affidavit showing that Blu I menithal & Bickert of Atlanta had sent Mr. Ev'ans the earload of fur niturlle which he had exhibited to Mr. 3 Kihler and others: m Personally appeared John D. - Northeut of Marietta, Ga., who, be 3 ing duily sworn, stated: ''WThat is y'ouri business, Mm. : Northeut?' t ''State agent of the Manhattan LifCe I nsu ranlce companly.' '.'MNr. Northen't, I wish you would Mr.t Johnso of the firm of Chamn . bein.Johnson-DuBos company.' On December 23, 1905, between 3 and 4 o'clock I called on Mir. John.. son in his private office. After xreet in" him in the regular way I staited. ' ' Mr. Johnmson I want to ask a favor of you. I wanit you to give me incfl exact copy of the bill of fur initure bought by Blumenthal & Bick mr ftis city i.bout Decemlber 14, 1904, and shipped to H. H. Evans of Newvberry, S. C. i want this in formation for a purpose that I can not explain to you right now, but one (lay next week I can give you a satisfactory exptlnationi amnd possi. ble a duiplient e order of the bill ship pod( to~ Mr. Evans. '' Mr. JIohnsoin s((eeme to be0 favorably impr)lessed. Hei said that Blumnent hat & Bickert had1( bouight a nice bill of furniture abhonlt Ithat tiime for Mr. Evans and lthat there was somnething in that mat Iter of the purilchase that Blumeflnthll S& hBickert waniitedl kept secret andl that lie did not remnember just exact Jl1y the inature of it., but that there was somethiung that they wanted to Oicve upl. That1 lie was under~ thle imi presi that lunimnthat & Bickert wvere mnakinig a (hr istma presen)~cClt to 1 lhisili hndsomei hill of furunitunre to Mrtl. lEvanis. M.r. dohnlsoin seemued to tink that the hill was ove $1.500 t hat Bll umenmthat & Bickert bought nn1 that it was a very elegant lot of furniture. st as MIr. Johnson started t( loVe his ebair Mr. Wallke, oIle OJ thle firml, camtte inl. Mrl.Jonr Sated: I''Here comles Alr. Wvalket lloW, I will introduce youl to hm After tie introduction Mr. Johnison told me to state lily request to Mr. Walkcer, saying, ''Mr. Walker knowq more than I (i) and see what lie can (o for yot. I related to Mr. Walker t1he samle thinlg I had said to Mr. Johnson. Mrl. Wailker stated at once that they could not afford to furnish mile with tle information, that it wats against their business rules and also against tle request of Blunien that and Bickert, that in buying the bill of furniture they did not want anything to be known about it. I ask ed Mr. Walker ithe question if ''the handsome besdstead was given Mr. Evanls by- Blumenvithal & Bickevrt ?' He stated, ''No, Mr. Evans bought that himself and had it shipped with tie furniture Bluienthal and Bick ert bought.'' He stated Mr. Evanq had bought several other nice tliiingF and paid cash for them and that on that account they could not furnisli me with a copy of anything Mr Evans bought and that. they would not furnish a copy of the Blumenthal and Rickert bill, but that it was al very handsome furnittire. I thei asked, ''What was the amount 0 the Blumenthal and Bickert billi' anid lie stated is was about $1,500 an< that Mr. Evans' bill was ill additioi to tihis. lie left the impression tha Mr. Evains' bill was between $401 an(] $500. That the bedstead wa something like $300. I remarke that it was more than that, that th carload was something like $3,60C They made no reply to that. Mi Walker stated that Mr. Evans wa present when the purchase was mad, ly Blumenthal & Bickert and tha Mr. Evans selected the things the lie paid for andl that they were al shipped together. I then said, ''Gen tleimenl, T think you ought. to giv, me this information that I have ask ed for, you know 111e personally all( know that I would not do any11t3hinl,. that wolid injure you.'' Mr. Wal ker stated that they coul inot (10 it that it was agaiist their busiliess re lations and their (1uty to their eus toniers. He said, ''We cannot d< anything that would hurt us witt Blumenthal & Bickert.'' I thanked them for the time I ha, taken up and I then left them, re marking that I wolild come back nex week. On the following Monday I wen in there agnin about 10 o'clock anw 'Zoiir to Mr. Johnson again and ex ilained to him why I wanted thi information concerning this transac tion between Blumenthal & Bicker and H. H. Evans. Mr. Johnson want ed me to talk with their attorne; who was ill the building. I told hin I prefered to have the coniversatio1 lprfc(t ly private and in perfect con fidenice, just betweeni he and I. Mi .Johnson left me and sent Mr'. Du Bose to mec. Mr. DuBose said1 Mi .Johnson had requested him to tak lie matter up with me. ''.Just coim inito the office,'' lie said. I remark ed to Mr. D)uBose that T didl not comn to take up the matter with any oni b)ut Mr. .Johnson as I wished the mat ter to be perfectly confidential. H, says. ''Tat is airighit, Mir. Johinsoi and1 1 understand this, Cv have talk ed the matter oveir before.'' I re peaited to Mr. DuBlose what I hai said to Mr. Johnson and I told hini that I thought it was his duit.y as ali honorable business gentlemen, t give 1me this information. Mr. Dui Bose laughed and1 said that 1 ha<4 already gotten too much informatioi "iut of Mr. .Johinson and that I ough to 1)e satisfied with that and tha they could iiot give me the informa tioni unless requested by law to givi it. That they were perfectly willing if requested by law to produce thei books anid t ranlsactions thait occur're in thle matter. WVe do not want t< hurt ourselves with1 the Blumentha & Biekert, they are0 good cuistomner' (of ouriis anid, of c'our'se, we cannot af ford toi give you this infoirmatioi uniless compelled to (10 so by law an<1 thlen) we would 1)eclear' inl so doing Mr'. D)uBose stated that befoire the: made the pui'chase that Bluamen thai & Blickert triied to make arriangemeni byv whieh they would get 40 or 50 pe 'enit on thle full amount of thle hill this uiaragemen'ut was to be0 withou11 lie knowledge of Mr'. Evans. John D. Northeut. An Oil Mill. Trhe last witness was Mr'. .J. HI Wieker,, manageir of the oil mill am1 a fiarmei of Newberrv. Mr'. H. H1 Evanis is pre'sident of the mill. Tw< year1s ago, in 1905, they wanted te geit iup ani oil mill1. Thley owed1 $23, 00 w'ehi t hey bori'owed from A anid N. M. Block of Macon, Ga. Thi diruect ors were triyi ng to) bori'ow thi: money11. Mr'. Evansw had said t hat h could b)oiq'row the mnely anid lie won EPIT and s.tay~ed a week or' two. Whci lie caenmac nie naind that lehad bor1 M MW NUWN rowed the money from Block at 5 per cent, and they gave Block a mort gage oi the mill for $20,000. Witness testified that lie believed that it was really Block's Iloney and iiot l'vans'. A. Bloek is a director. He is pit owiner of Macon brewery amnd Rilland distillery. Witness had paid interest on mortgage to Block. A(mitted that some of direce tors haid asked him once if Evans or Block owned the mortgage, but de elai,ed h(- believes Block owns it. The committee thei. adjourned un til 10 o'clock this morning. SAYS IT A LIE. That Is Way Mr. Evans Character izes Testimony of Mr. Davis . Col. Towill Denies It Also. Tle Au:usta Chronlicle's Colum bill Correspondent un1.der date June 7 writes his paper that Ex-Director John Bell Towill, who was here to lay, had a long distance 'phone in terview this afternoon with ex-Chair man Evans, who talked from his home in Newberry, immediately fol lowing the testimony of Contractor Davis. ''He's a damned liar from start to finish,'' came the voice of the man whom Davis said showed him bunch es of thousand dollar bills, suits of furniture, silk hats full of money, fine houses and plantations. ''And if there weren't some ladies standitig liere by tle 'plione I'd tell you the other tiiigs hie is; you know what that is.'' Last winter Mr. Evans warned Messrs. Lyon and Christen sen that le would shoot aly witness put on the stand to testify against S his character, and who was there with his friends apparently ready to t carry out his threats the day the t Newberry situation was to be enter I ed upon. but which the committee - backed away from. 2 Mr. Evans wetit oi to say that lie - would issue i statement for publica I tion which would clear up the whole r thing nm explain Mr. Daivs' testi - 1mo01. . fl. Davis was not allowed to go - home tuilay, Mr. Lyoin detaining himl - on the _,roumd tliat he would need him again. Towill Denies it All. Mr1. Towell said never. had a sill g-le instalce of uinlpleasaitiess with - Mr. Evans the entire time lie was on t the board with him. He says tile story about his being bribed at tihe t hotel is rediculously false. "Who was this middle man repre - senting tanahan Iefore the board a the latter part of last year after Mr. - Bovkin let the Lanalall interests t go?'' The Chronicle correspondent - askedl Mi. Towill. "1 I haven't the sli-htest idea,'' Mr'. 2 Towill replied. 'I don 't believe hMr. Boykin ever r'eprCeented Lana - hani. esiswithlahnImhents em b'lllgw g ypj f " It appear5 s to mue to be a ridicul .Oius st ory about Lanahian paying Boy a kin $2,000 a1 year' to r'epresent him. If lie was paying so mneh reb)ates .. what was tihe sense0 to paIy himl a 2 salary. If lie had agr'eed to4 so act lihe would have required more than - $2.000. I t hink thle story is absurd.'
